Overview
In this lesson pupils will think about how they can plan a social action project. They will be led through key steps by following the example of the Go-Givers.
This resource is designed to be taught over a series of lessons, giving pupils the time to research, plan, prepare and evaluate a social action project. It could be used when working towards the Make a Difference Challenge and is supported by a free online CPD on teaching social action.
